Most computer programs are only available in Spanish. I don't know about games for those devices but it may well be the same situation.

I buy a few of these, from time to time. And, similar to DVDs, you need to make sure they're multi-lingual. Some are, Some aren't.
As for availability, there are a few shops, here, owned by the same people that have "Game" in the UK, but they are very few & far between.
FYI: Gibraltar has a lot of shops selling English language games.

We brought all our paraphernalia over with us along with multi-sockets to use with EU adapters and they all work fine. The only problem we encountered was buying games in English - even the international shops do not have them. We eventually solved this problem by going on-line and using EBay uk (make sure the seller ships abroad) or even better Amazon uk for a fast delivery. Failing that invite friends and family over and ask them to bring what you want :wink:

dont INVITE PEOPLE OVER .. christ you are doing it all wrong ;)

go on ebay. use your credit card. get the stuff posted to your friends house which you pick up when you go over there.. if you invite people over here you end up being a taxi service and paying for everything for a week and after two days u cant wait to drop them off at the airport again ;)
